The most effective natural tick killers for your yard rely on plant-powered sprays, microscopic predators, or absorbent powders. 

Cedar Oil Sprays: Cedar oil (like Wondercide Yard Spray) naturally kills and repels ticks on contact by disrupting their sensory

receptors and is completely safe for pets, kids, and beneficial pollinators.

Beneficial Nematodes:

 These microscopic, natural worms hunt and consume tick larvae in the soil. You can purchase them at local nurseries or online (such as on Arbico Organics) to

significantly reduce the tick population at the source.

Diatomaceous Earth (DE): This fine, all-natural powder is made from fossilized algae. When sprinkled around the perimeter of your yard and in shady, brush-heavy areas, it absorbs the protective wax

Most people optimize the wrong fitness variable.

They add more miles, more reps, more weight.

34 years of Harvard data on 111,000 people says it's not volume — it's VARIETY.

People doing the MOST DIFFERENT types of exercise had 19% lower all-cause mortality: 🧵 Image
The numbers:

- 111,467 people followed
- 34 years
- 38,847 deaths analyzed
- Highest variety quintile vs lowest: 19% lower all-cause mortality
- Held up after controlling for total volume

Not "they exercised more." They exercised DIFFERENTLY.
The respiratory mortality finding stands out:

Highest variety quintile had 41% lower respiratory mortality.

Different movement patterns appear to load different physiological systems — cardiac output, lung capacity, joint range, fascial elasticity, neuromuscular coordination — in ways that monodisciplinary training doesn't.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "I have been asked to write something again about the issue of non-citizens voting, so here it is.

I believe in the law, and in the US Constitution as being the basis of all federal law.
1)
And as such, only citizens of the USA should be allowed to vote in federal elections.

Fact: All references to the vote in the Constitution of the USA restrict the right to vote to citizens of the USA.

Can’t get it more simple than that.
2)
Now, the only argument that remains is how can this right of citizenship be protected. How can we make sure the vote is limited to citizens?

We can do that in two ways.

Texas has seven unique advantages in terms of infrastructure, political culture, and resource geography that make it uniquely suited to be the next industrial heartland of the USA.

The seven industrial development advantages of Texas 🧵
1/
They are as follows:

1. About 94% of land in Texas is privately held. This vastly limits what the Federal, State and local governments can do to in terms of regulations and NIMBY games.

2/ Image
2. Texas is mostly flat. Texas hill country is small beer compared to the Appalachian and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges. This compounds with #1 for industrial development.

3. Texas has a lot of water compared to the US west & sea access.

The eRight analytical failure for this race comes down to trying to apply the same framework to 3 different issues:

Voting age cohorts
Zionism
The Republican Base

The line from Massies side and many on eRight applied their view of Zionism to all 3 without recognizing the 1/ Image
Significant contrasts between these 3 issues.

First the Boomers didn't take this race from you. There are more Millennials than Boomers in America. Truthfully Millennials and Gen Z could be deciding races at the voter level. Yes Boomers hold the organizational power, but not 2/ Image
Not the existing voting numbers. But Boomers really show up. Its times for Millennials and Gen Z to do likewise.

While Zionism is in the top handful of factors, it was present on both sides. Aside from Massies' largest single donor of I Mil also being a Zionist Jew the 3/

🚨 Something about this doesn’t add up…

Back in September, I was scrolling through Henry Dell’s Facebook when a comment from "Bradley Griffin" caught my attention 👀 He had posted a photo of himself at the UVU event. Not long after that, Dell’s page suddenly became much more private… and the post with Griffin’s comment vanished.
I can’t prove it now because it was either deleted or hidden but, it-was-there. They know each other.

So where is he? 🤔
he should be easy to find:
➡️ Second row “20 feet away from Charlie”
➡️ Behind the guy everyone recognizes in the black t-shirt with the sunburst design
➡️ Wearing a blue shirt and an American flag hat 🇺🇸

But I still can’t find him anywhere.
This month, Bradley made a lot of posts public. Read his 9/10 account below 👇

I also came across what appears to be a 2021 arrest record out of Cheyenne, Wyoming involving 10 felony counts.
And another thing… what’s with the 🦁 lion symbolism?
Victor Marx had the same lion visible during his recent Live with Candace appearance, and Bradley Griffin used that exact lion image as his cover photo on July 26, 2024. Coincidence?Image

You may not like it, but everywhere you go in Maine, the voters are OUTRAGED at the DNC autopsy. They demand it.

A total failure to Meet The Moment.
What a fucking mess of a party, man. We've basically allowed the entryists into our party and all they do is spend their time attacking Dems, all day, every day. 10x as much smoke for our own party than Republicans.
Average voters do not give a fuck about Israel. Maine is even more of a bubble state than pretty much anywhere else. You could poll 100 people and 99 of them would not mention Israel in their top 10 issues.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "FLOTILLAS AND FOOLISHNESS

I have not written much about the Flotillas to Gaza, nor about Israel’s handling of the problem. I’m correcting that now.
1)
The Flotillas. The claim of these Flotillas for Gaza, that started in 2008, by the way, has been that they, subsidized by Western leftist interests and by Turkey, want to show their solidarity to the people of Gaza and

to bring them supplies that the organizers claim that Israel has denied them.

The fact is that when the Flotillas started, Israel had not denied anything to Gaza, and in fact had been supplying Gaza with power, food, and oil and

🧵 (reposted) on the only big change to the @EHRC Code of Practice made at the behest of @bphillipson: the new paras 12.74 and 12.75 on multi protected characteristic associations... Image
1 This is about *associations* only. It’s a legal interpretation allowing membership of an association to be restricted to those who have either one or the other of two (or more) protected characteristics…
2 The Equality Act on its face doesn’t allow this mix & match

It only allows an association to be restricted to people who all share one protected characteristic (eg “women only) or who *all* share more than one PC (eg “disabled women only”)…

“If you can stop the fatty acid synthase, you cure cancer and obesity.” — Ray Peat

Ray’s perspective is rooted in orthomolecular-endocrinology, where FAS is upregulated by easily identifiable hormonal signals that can either be targeted/inhibited directly or via dietary changes.
More Ray quotes:

“The deficiency of CO2 is what turns on the fatty acid synthase.”

“That’s why breathing CO2 is therapeutic in so many ways: anti-inflammatory, pro-respiratory.”

“The production of fat becomes an electron sink, so it’s defensive with a lot of bad consequences.”
“If you increase your thyroid function, which increasing the oxidation of glucose and production of CO2, the production of ROS declines sharply as oxygen consumption increases.”

“The mechanism that increases your CO2 production simultaneously decreases ROS”

The PCR positivity map is out, national positivity has reached under 1%, and few areas are over 5%.

We have Scottish data this week too - next release will be in a month - and levels look minimal.

There is of course plenty of variation across the country, so please do check the map itself.

In the south Kent, Reading, and central London are above 5%. Essex seems to be bouncing around just below that level.

Worcestershire is still over 5%, but that's a massive decline from its persistent problem levels over the last few months.

Bedford, Luton, Walsall, Shropshire, Derbyshire, Stoke-on-Trent are all showing growth.
